Another fact: never once has animation won the award for Best Picture. My opinion on the matter is the only reason animation is nominated is because the titles floating to the top were scarce to begin with. It's pretty bad when a committee has to scramble to fill slots rather than actually give a damn. The proof comes in at how "animation" was defined to allow CGI works to be filed as such. A show like Up is about as much a definition of "animation" as James Cameron's Avatar. The categories should be split, but given there are no hand drawn movies by Hollywood (Disney) anymore, it would be a category filled with anime, and a sure winner for it. If memory serves, The Iron Giant was the last animated movie I think I've seen come out of Hollywood... in 1999. |

Seeing as the boundry between live action and animation is getting more blurred each year with increased use of motion capture, this is only fair and I can see it increasing to what it is for all live action movies in the near future as well.

Not that much more often. Usually the only Awards I've seen Western films in are the Hiroshima International Animation Festival.
Pixar fanboys are harmless. And we were talking about tastes. Put a cute moe girl, and otaku would scramble all over her, forgiving the rest of the show, so long as her merchandise are cute. 
Yeah, that was put to my attention. It'll definitely qualify for BAFTA though.
I was talking about here, in these forums.
Still, Pixar's only the last 15 years.
Eva 2.0 came out in Japan in 2009. If Funi gave it a qualifying run in Dec 2010, it would've been eligible for the 2010 Oscars, which would make it the 16th eligible animated film and thus open the Award for up to 5 nominations, instead of just 3.
That's what I said about the animated award ghetto.
Disney Animation Chief John Lasseter is trying to change that, having Pixar Studio making 3DCG while Disney Animation Studio making traditional animation**, starting with The Princess and the Frog in 2009. Winnie the Pooh is coming out next month. (** But not only traditional. After all, they did make Tangled aka Rapunzel last year.) |

enurtsol:
Considering they've downgraded the medium into CG talking animals and objects, I disagree. They're just as detrimental to the genre as the Eva fanboys who helped turn anime into an emo harem circle-jerk fest.
Wouldn't be surprised if more people saw it on the forums than anywhere else.
I'm not talking about eligibility. I'm talking about whether it would actually be a viable candidate. Jello:
The last big one was Brother Bear. |

I know but it was still a mature animated film that was nominated. If an Akira or a Ghost in the Shell isn't nominated for a Best Film or Best Animated Film, there is still the possibility of a Best Foreign Film. Thie is no rule saying that a film can't be nominated for only one of those categories as witnessed by Up and Toy Story 3. |
